Strassburger Steaks

I was looking for something special for Father’s Day. A treat I wouldn’t normally give myself, you know a little decadence to feed my foodie soul. I have been craving a dry aged steak for awhile now. This is the kind of steak you can’t get at your local supermarket or even your neighborhood butcher. So to the trusty web I turned and in Google I found a couple options. I narrowed my selection down to StrassBurger Steaks. Their website had the goods a
Foodie Father like me was looking for. With a lineage of over 150 years in the Steak business how could this selection not be the right one? I turned to my trusted advisor in these matters ( Unilocal,) and to my surprise StrassBurger had only 1 review with 1 star and to top it off, the reviewer lives in the same state and city. Now this reviewer, from what I could tell was on a similar mission as me. The negative part of their review had to do with the delivery of the goods (from the minimal critique offered) so I did what every loyal Unilocal user would do, I backed out. But I couldn’t get those images out of my head. Those steaks looked so good! I searched around my local area to satisfy my craving. Alas I only found what I would describe as mediocre offerings, it was then I decided I was going to give StrassBurger Steaks a shot.
I placed my order for bone-​in rib steaks and a tomahawk. I made sure I would be at home to receive the delivery, like junky waiting for a fix. 16 hours later my doorbell sang the sweet songs of a FedEX delivery. I tore into the package like a child on Christmas morning, eager to inspect the goods. To my surprise, or should I say my joy, the steaks were a cool 40.0 °F a mear 8.0 °F from freezing. I know because I used a digital meat thermometer to check, since the previous review stated the warmth of the goods, but in my case everything was perfect!
So with the goods in hand, I was off to the next stage in my plan. How to cook these bad boys? I decided I would go the extra step and do some reading.
For the meal I came up with:
* Simply seasoned with sea salt and pepper
* Sear the steaks on the BBQ to get a nice crisp crust to seal in the juices
* Finish them off in the oven in an old cast iron pan
* Add sides Hasselback potato and garlic butter sauteed Porcini mushrooms
* Homemade Bearnaise sauce
I am starting to salivate while I write this as the memories of endorphins being released come flooding back. To get to the point, these were in fact the best steaks I HAVE EVER MADE. I like to think it’s the attention to the details, but I can’t take all the credit. Each bite of steak literally melts in my mouth. When you have such a solid base to start with, you really can’t go wrong. I can without a doubt recommend ordering steaks from StrassBurger and have recommended these fine purveyors of bovine bliss to my friends and family. Like with all things in life I am glad I went this my gut instinct here and placed this order. Had I just gone with the single bad review, I would have missed out on one of the best steak dinners I have ever had. I could honestly say these steaks were on point with fancy steak houses like Ruth Chris and would order again without hesitation.
Attached are photos of my journey.
Happy Fathers day!

I ordered four 14-​oz USDA Prime dry-​aged rib-​eye steaks. They arrived just slightly cooler than room temperature– the gel pak was hardly cool to the touch.
The steaks looked and tasted sad.
